The contest ended up adding 15 more winners after Omaze
found a glitch in the drawing leaving out about two dozen
entries.

In total, Paul helped raise nearly $1.8 million for The Kind
Campaign through Omaze.

Paul's fundraiser was by far the largest amount of money Omaze
has helped raise since its creation.

Omaze co-founders Ryan Cummins tells Business Insider the
reason both he and Matt
Pholson started Omaze was in order to help raise
three to five time their charity partners at auction.

"To have Aaron's experience
raise nearly $1.8M, when it would have likely raised around $50K
at auction - is incredibly exciting," says Cummins.

"It's just another testament
that if you give people access and tools to support causes —
whether through a cause like this or a creative endeavor like on
Kickstarter — they will consistently prove to be generous and
giving," added Pohlson.
